whew

when it rains it pours

imagine clubs have been aware this was coming for a while, makes Bayern and other teams comments on wanting Barca to pay up front for signings because they dont believe they'll exist in 5 years make more sense

imagine they get banned from the CL

With Barca being one of the founding members of the ESL project I expect Ceferin aka QSGs bitch to hand out the biggest penalty available

| Atlético Madrid have asked some players, such as Lemar (done), Oblak (done), Koke, Griezmann and Félix, to lower their salaries.

Contacts have been positive. The goal is to defer them or even undertake contract renewals with more flexible terms.

| Not only the first team players, but also the coaching staff have been asked to reduce their salaries.

defer, sure, reduce? neva dat

Lemar did it with a contract extension, he's gash so it makes sense

Felix has no reason to

pay the man

Santi Mina is appealing his sexual abuse conviction, forcing Celta to still respect their contract. So meanwhile, he'll go play on loan for a Saudi club.

Btw, Saudi Arabia has no extradition agreement with Spain. So even if the ruling stands, good luck getting him back to Spain? https://t.co/y9dhTDrVoM

Na, it'd be in Saudis best interest to stay in Europe's good books given all eyes are on them and Newcastle

Atlético Madrid players will no longer offer their shirts to fans after games.

Instead, fans will have to download the Momento Market app and place bids on match-worn shirts in a digital auction.

UEFA have checked Barça's accounting for the 18/19, 19/20 and 20/21 seasons, focusing on the last one. At first, it looks like Barça could actually be sanctioned by UEFA. However they won't be, as clubs can 'fix' their situation, which Barça have already done.

UEFA have strategically leaked the information about Barça possibly being sanctioned, knowing that the club have already done their due diligence to make that impossible. What they're doing is following their protocol by checking Barça's accounts, nothing more.

Why Barça have not broken UEFA's FFP rules:

- They're within the 50% limit for losses during the pandemic seasons

- Players have been paid their salary on time

- The losses for the 20/21 season were inflated

- Acquired €717m in 'levers' to balance the books

Players have been paid their salaries rofl

by Myesyats Thu Aug 25, 2022 12:45 pm

Deferring salaries is not a breach of FFP tho is it? FDJ isn’t due his money now, it’s meant to be paid off later he agreed to it

Anyway all this lever bullshit was precisely done to comply with the FFP so I reckon we’re fine

by futbol_bill Thu Aug 25, 2022 1:13 pm

Do you believe anything Ceferin puts out? The uefa fffp list was only put out to name possible violations of ffp, but none will likely be sanctioned esp. PSG! The dig was at Barca and Juve because of super leaque!

Note the rules for Ffp change after this year so the list is so of cleaning house before new list is dreamed up!

by halamadrid2 Thu Aug 25, 2022 8:26 pm

The meeting to decide on sanctions for the 10 clubs that breached FFP regulations will be chaired by Nasser Al-Khelaifi. @diarioas #rmlive

So LaLiga are bending the rules for Barca Laughing

because they appreciate the effort. Hilarious

by Myesyats Fri Aug 26, 2022 12:53 pm

Lol we had to play 2 games without Kounde and couldn’t sign Azpi because of the delay

Tebas is an idiot

by halamadrid2 Fri Aug 26, 2022 12:58 pm

If he was a real president he would make an example out of Barca unless they can stump up the cash. Appreciating effort doesn't cut it. Barca are not the only ones so it's nothing to do with just them but the whole league. Tebas is trying to prevent a Depor or Malaga from happening again

by Myesyats Fri Aug 26, 2022 1:47 pm

La Liga rechecking Barça's last economic lever and the transfer of Umtiti are what allowed Barcelona to register Kounde - with some margin as well.

Barca are paying all of Umtiti's wages Laughing

What BS is this

by Myesyats Fri Aug 26, 2022 2:20 pm

Not all of it, Lecce will pay a part (and they’ll also pay us bonuses for every game he plays) Very Happy

We also loaned out Nico, Collado and sold Puig…that counts too no?

Braithwaites contract will be terminated too

by halamadrid2 Fri Aug 26, 2022 2:43 pm

Yes you are, I have not seen anywhere that Leece will cover any of the wages. But I've seen that performance related bonuses have been added which will hardly help in registering Kounde NOW.

As for those loan players, how much are you realistically saving with that? Probably max 5ME and you need close to 20ME.

Bssides Braithwait is refusing to leave unless you pay his termination clause

I still don't see how this sudden news that Barca can register Kounde stems from because I haven't see Barca stump up the money they need to register him.

This looks like the league making Barca an exception

by futbol_bill Fri Aug 26, 2022 3:11 pm

Probably the latter. Laporte has been bating Tebas throughout August, and Tebas, although battling both Flo and Laporta, knows he needs competitive Barca and RMad in liga.

by danyjr Fri Aug 26, 2022 3:41 pm

And they would have made Madrid an exception if that was the case. Simply put the economic pull from Barça and Madrid are too high for La Liga to ignore. They need them to be competitive in Europe otherwise nobody will watch La Liga any more.
